Dit is jQuery-specifiek en bevat een beetje een hack / fix voor het omgaan met Chrome. Dit werkt tussen jQuery 1.5.1 en jQuery 1.8.3. Het is verdwenen in jQuery 1.9. Vermoedelijk omdat het te vaak onjuist werd gebruikt en het internet pijn deed. Het is beter om waar mogelijk een functie te detecteren.
var userAgent = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase(), browser = '', version = 0; $.browser.chrome = /chrome/.test(navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase()); // Is this a version of IE? if ($.browser.msie) ( userAgent = $.browser.version; userAgent = userAgent.substring(0,userAgent.indexOf('.')); version = userAgent; browser = "Internet Explorer"; ) // Is this a version of Chrome? if ($.browser.chrome) ( userAgent = userAgent.substring(userAgent.indexOf('chrome/') + 7); userAgent = userAgent.substring(0,userAgent.indexOf('.')); version = userAgent; // If it is chrome then jQuery thinks it's safari so we have to tell it it isn't $.browser.safari = false; browser = "Chrome"; ) // Is this a version of Safari? if ($.browser.safari) ( userAgent = userAgent.substring(userAgent.indexOf('safari/') + 7); userAgent = userAgent.substring(0,userAgent.indexOf('.')); version = userAgent; browser = "Safari"; ) // Is this a version of Mozilla? if ($.browser.mozilla) ( //Is it Firefox? if (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf('firefox') != -1) ( userAgent = userAgent.substring(userAgent.indexOf('firefox/') + 8); userAgent = userAgent.substring(0,userAgent.indexOf('.')); version = userAgent; browser = "Firefox" ) // If not then it must be another Mozilla else ( browser = "Mozilla (not Firefox)" ) ) // Is this a version of Opera? if ($.browser.opera) ( userAgent = userAgent.substring(userAgent.indexOf('version/') + 8); userAgent = userAgent.substring(0,userAgent.indexOf('.')); version = userAgent; browser = "Opera"; ) // Now you have two variables, browser and version // which have the right info
